This information collection supports implementation of subparagraph (a)(1)(A) of Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232). This section prohibits the head of an executive agency from procuring, obtaining, extending or renewing a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunication equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as a critical technology as part of any system, unless an exception applies or a waiver has been granted. This requirement is implemented in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) through the provision at FAR 52.204-24, Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment, and the provision at 52.204-26, Covered Telecommunications Equipment or Services—Representation and the clause at FAR 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment.

The information collection is revised to add the burden associated with the requirement for entities in SAM to represent to the new provision FAR 52.204-26. The added burden of FAR 52.204-26 is offset by a significant reduction in the burden of provision 52.204-24. Previously FAR 52.204-24 was required to be completed by all offerors for all solicitations, which was a high burden on the public. Changes to the prescription of FAR 52.204-24 limited the number of offerors required to respond to the provision to those that respond “does” to FAR 52.204-26 or 52.212-3(v). The changes to the provisions results in an overall burden reduction in this information collection. The Government burden was also reduced from $38,480,438 to $7,394,298. Related to the reduction in the public burden, contracting officers will have fewer offers that will require review of responses to FAR 52.204-24. The Government burden was also reduced from $38,480,438 to $7,394,298. Related to the reduction in the public burden, contracting officers will have fewer offers that will require review of responses to FAR 52.204-24.
